If you are anything like me \u2013 you have been at least happy that gas prices have gone down \u2013 however; I think there is something a bit more sinister that is going on behind the scenes.\n<\/p>\n
When gas prices go up, there is usually some big announcement in the news as to why the gas prices have gone up (some war in some country, some bad weather in some state, some grandmother sneezed in some grocery store, who knows..)\u2026 however, it’s interesting how silent the media has been on the gas prices falling \u2013 why?\n<\/p>\n
I think it’s because they don’t want to draw to much attention to the fact that gas prices are falling\u2026 because, people will think about it, and they’ll realize there is something fishy going on\u2026 in fact, I don’t think the price drop is going to last very long.\n<\/p>\n
You see, the fat cats that own the major gas cartel’s realize that their billions of dollars in revenue is also based on the strength of the economy, and they know that the economy is driven by rampant consumerism\u2026 When people have to spend so much on “necessities” like gas \u2013 they don’t spend money on other areas in the market \u2013 the things we want but don’t need \u2013 which are really the underpinnings of the financial kingdom.\n<\/p>\n
And so \u2013 the cartel has realized that if they continue to squeeze the pockets of consumers over the holiday season, it’s going to mean even worse things for the economy; however, if they lighten the shackles of oil for the holiday shopping season; people will quickly forget how overbearing their gas & heating bills were just a few weeks before, and they will flock to the stores and buy more and spend more (I know I have).\n<\/p>\n
And so, after the holiday season; the cartel is going to find some new reason to bring the oil and gas prices right back up (someone’s kid spilled a glass of milk in a restaurant in Bangor, Maine?)! The question is; how many people will curtail their shopping enough to be able to rebound with the gas and oil prices when they do go back up?\n<\/p>\n
I’m watching them, I know their game, but who else is, who else does\u2026\n<\/p>\n
